as the title states im unable to receive pix messages on my 8100 txt and email come thru fine but pics dont. ive pulled the battery out while the BB was on but no help on that side. any suggestons?

Since you joined in March I assume your not getting MMS pix is a new problem. You didn't say which OS version you have. If you used to get them and cannot now I say it's Tmob that is doing it not your phone. They've had intermittent problems with pearls not getting the pic for quite awhile, myself included. If that' the case I say don't do anything, just try another day.

i actually just got this pearl but im not sure what SW version im using. im able to send mms but not receive mms messages. the last few that were sent have disappeared into where ever but sometimes i get them later like 3-4 days later

I used to have a problem did a whipe on the pearl and it sent the settings back to phone and never had a problem since. You don't need a blackberry data plan to receive mms anymore you can get the free Blackberry feature enabler and you'll get mms.
